GLAM'ONDAY ALERT~BIRTHDAY LETTER COUNTDOWN...



31 DAY(S) COUNTDOWN UNTIL BIRTHDAY!
BIRTHDAY LETTER STARTS
SEPTEMBER 1ST...

Today we're taking a different direction to our GLAM'ONDAY ALERT... Each week we bring you all things Events, Fashion, Beauty and on occasion Food for the Soul Tips & Suggestions. Today is special as it starts my thirty one day countdown to what I call each year; A moment in time to not only celebrate me, but also reflect on the year. If you haven't guess yet... The correct answer will be my "BIRTHDAY".


LET'S GET IT STARTED...


Every year I write a letter to myself which reflects on ; Where I've Been; Where I'm Going and How I Can Be a Better Me. Last year "2010" my letter consisted of many transformations.

• 2010 Birthday Letter In Search of A "Better Me".
• Each day up until my Birthday~September 22nd I shared on my Facebook Page Reasons to a "Better Me".
• In Closing Wrap-Up, Final Thoughts & Happy Birthday To Me.

This year I have a special title, which I'll share on September 1st. Hopefully my thoughts and learning experiences this past year can help at least one individual make changes for where they are and P.U.S.H (Push~Until~Something~Happens) to follow a dream, a goal or a promise you have made to yourself. There's no better time than the present to get started. I've come FULL CIRCLE once again and I'm humbly thankful for the simple pleasure's of life. The bigger picture in life is nice, but I'm just ecstatically grateful for "BREATH" each day. Thank you heavenly father for giving me that and as long as I follow your principles there will be greater pleasures in store for me.

Placing your desires down in writing holds you accountable for your life. What you don't accomplished or even try. You have no one to blame but yourself. If you take anything from this post today know GOD has a better plan for your life. He expects nothing but goodness & greatness from you. Expect the same for yourself and come with me on this journal to share my Birthday Countdown. I would love to motivate, mentor and most importantly be mindful of your dreams. If you like ideas on how you can get started, please send ASK KIMBERLY an email, Tweet Us or post your comments here.

So Let's Get It Started!

This song is one of my anthem go to songs. If it doesn't get you motivated I don't know what will. (SMILE)

5 FABULOUS Tips to get the perfect Smoky Eyes...

STEP 1: PREP
Pat SEPHORA Collection Age Defy Eye Cream along browbones and under-eye areas.

STEP 2: PRIME
Tap SEPHORA Collection Perfecting Eye Primer onto lids, from lash lines to browbones, and under the lower lash lines-to keep shadow from fading.

STEP 3: LINE
Using short, controlled strokes, line the top and bottom lash lines with a deep-colored creamy eye pencil. Blend liner with the SEPHORA Collection Professional Natural Smudge Brush #11 using a quick back-and-forth motion.



 STEP 4: SHADOW
With the SEPHORA Collection Professional Platinum Natural Medium Eyeshadow Brush #14, apply shadow to the lash lines, directly on top of the liner. Use the brush to diffuse the shadow up into the creases. Color should be darkest at the lash lines and gradate up into the creases.

STEP 5: FINISH
Curl lashes with the SEPHORA Collection Eyelash Curler, and finish with two to three coats of SEPHORA Collection Full Action Mascara.

drezrehersal Tip...Getting the smoking eye doesn't need to be with bold rich color's. You can get a very subtle look with natural color's : ie: I adore the Sunbaked No . 2 The trio shadows consist of bronzy brown, shimmer gold and moonshawdow gold. Line the inner eye with a 03 Keep Brown Waterproof Linen and blend the shadow with the attached liner professional platinum natural smudge brush.

GLAM'ONDAY ALERT...HOORAY FOR SUMMER




Time to Exhale and Let Go...Its SUMMERTIME!


HOORAY FOR SUMMER... Are you excited as I am about Summer? We're only into week one; although the weather hasn't been cooperating that shouldn't stop us from preparing for what we know will be a great summer season. Placing positive energy into the universe is definitely a start to what you desire for yourself. Place it into existence and it shall be. The next few months for me will consist of weddings, events, business functions, networking, continuing day-to-day business operations. And through it all I still must put time aside for me. Regardless of what is going on, always make time for self. You only have one life and as I always say you can't continue to be everything to everybody while not taking care of you first.

Summer should be a time of exhaling. Letting go of all the responsibilities months prior. As a child growing-up didn't you look forward to summertime? Why stop now as an adult? Close your eyes and let's experience the goodness of summer... Take a deep breath while I'll take you on a brief vacation to experience the goodness of summertime. Smell the fresh air, have a nice cold glass of lemonade, put your feet-up reading a good book, sitting out by the pool, placing your feet in the cool ocean, running along the beach with the wind  flowing through your hair, having a picnic at the park with someone special, or just taking a scenic drive. It's just that simple... "ENJOY LIFE".  ENJOY your surroundings, ENJOY the simple things, ENJOY family, ENJOY friends, ENJOY breathing tranquility, ENJOY time alone. If you're not enjoying life than there's no time like the present to make a change.

First Step: Make a list of what you desire to change and post it in a place you can see it clearly each & everyday. Second Step: Take Action...Viewing the list everyday makes you accountable for what you place in the universe. Third Step: Go for it... As you put changes into action, make sure to have positive people in your world along the way. Making a change just may be to eliminate those who really don't have your best interest at heart. I call them pity party monsters.

drezrehersal Tip... If you feel you're loosing yourself in day-to-day responsibilities. Just remember to live for today. For tomorrow will take care of itself. Keep this one word in mind when things get bumpy "ENJOY". Life will be more blissful if you keep this in mind. No one can create your happiness, but you. Live in the moment and just enjoy what god desires you to have. A life of abundance. Don't get discourage if you don't see immediate changes. Having faith is essential. Faith is confidence in that we  hope for and assurance about what we do not see. ~Hebrews 11.1 NIV

To recommendations to "ENJOY" this Summer.

GLAM'ONDAY ALERT...WEEK #2 with SALLY HANSEN CRACKLE OVERCOAT POLISH

As promised it's week two & we're still testing out different color combinations with Sally Hansen new crackle nail polish. Last week I tested the crackle overcoat polish on my toes, so this week I'm feeling flirty & given attention to my nails. We'll I actually pampered myself last week, but you get to see the results this week.

How Does It Look?

Week #2 Tested w/ Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat
Fractured Foil underneath VIP PINK

Sally Hansen crackle overcoat polish was all the RAVE on Memorial Day. It took me a little time to get use too, until the compliments started rolling in. I quickly said to myself Sally Hansen may have something here. A glamnista is always prepared wherever she goes with an emergency style kit. I'll explain the details of an emergency style kit at a later date, now back to memorial day and the rave reviews. After family, friends, even future glamnista's (little girls) Ooh & Aah over the design, they all ASK where can we get the crackle polish? You're in luck I have some samples you all can try out. So we get a manicure-pedicure table going & went to town testing out colors. I must say it was pretty funny to see everyone argue over certain colors; hearing them say don't copy me. Hmmm where might have they heard that saying before? LOL.  The guys felt a little ignored that the ladies were all hovering over the mani-pedi table. Get a group of girls together where being glam is the topic, yes you loose our attention for a hour or two. Remember to check back next week for my week three design.  Remember we want to hear from you if you have purchased the crackle overcoat polish or had your manicurist apply for you. So, please leave your comments on the below link.

drezrehersal Tip...Keep it simple for the best results. For the future glaminista's (little girls) a precious mommy & me time is let your daughter have a variety of solid base coats on each nail, then placing a subtle Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat on top.


Until next time live FABULOUS...

GLAM'ONDAY ALERT...FUN & FLIRTY SUMMER with SALLY HANSEN

Summer is here and its time to get flirty with Sally Hansen new polish~Crackle Overcoat. OK this is not just any polish, but a polish for a girl who isn't afraid of receiving a little attention to be noticed. Summer time should be about fun, traveling, hitting the beach and we can't forget all the BBQ's you'll be attending. We all know what gets noticed the most next to a rocking bikini? Your nails & feet. A good mani-pedi is key for summer so let's get this summer crackling right.

Being a Go-to-Girl has its privileges. I received recently all 8 of Sally Hansen new addition to the well know beauty line "Crackle Overcoat". Sally Hansen as what is now the number one brand of nail care.

Sally Hansen~Fuchsia Shock
SKU #4169-04

What is Crackle Overcoat? Crackle Overcoat you apply one thin or thick coat over a solid nail color and within 60 seconds you have a very unique design. Having your own unique style set's you apart~ Never be a Carbon Copy walk in your own shoes creating your own style. Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat does just that...Application Tips: Do not apply to bare nails. Do not leave the bottle open, close tightly when not in use. Allow it to dry and seal with any Sally Hansen top coat. Each nail turns out completely different once the crackle overcoat sets in. Normally I'm not a big fan of polish on my nails, it truly depends on my mood & style. I like to keep it simple& chic on most occasions. When I want to feel flirty I'll turn it up notch and summer time brings on the fun & flirty.



Kimberly Tested with
Fractured Foil ~SKU169-03 , underneath color
Sally Hansen VIP Pink


Crackle Overcoat comes in 8 different shades which can be paired with any nail color. From vintage purple to mature metallic's, you can create a unique mosaic design that’s modern and sophisticated. I test it out on my toes using the fractured foil over Sally Hansen VIP Pink. I'm all about the toes and love to wear peek a boo sling back, sandals, flip flops whenever possible. You know what that means summer watch out. I guaranteed you anyone in your circle will be asking you. WOW let me see your hands. At first glance I must say it does look like that time to hit the nail salon. Getting up-close & personal an amazing look you want to rock all summer long.



 Over the month of June,  I'll share images & different looks that we tested out and provide you my tips on getting the best style. I have also shared some samples with a few of my girls and look forward to seeing what unique styles they came up with. We definitely want to hear from you if purchased and tried the new crackle overcoat. So please share your story & images with us.

products visit Sally Hansen website or your
nearest beauty retailer.

  drezrehersal Tip... The crackle overcoat may not be the best choice if you work in the corporate sector. However, works well for the weekend when you can relax and let go. Perfect for those in the entertainment industry, fashion or any creative field. Brides-to-Be getting married have a spa'rty for your bridal party hiring a professional to come in and offer your ladies mani-pedi using Sally Hansen 8 fun colors in addition to a masseuse, adding other fun services your girls would just rave over. Spa'rtys are a relaxing way to show the ladies just how much they mean to you. Our previous clients love to add this option to the I Do's nuptials. Should your wedding day be informal, definitely a fun & flirty accessory for your bridal party. Brides still stick to the basic french tip.
